NSERC Engage grants are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Humber. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects. A maximum grant of $25,000 over a period of normally six months will be awarded to support the project costs. Full details will be covered in the workshop.
Come to our party! And discover the simplified application and decision processes that will enable funding for your applied research project. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the (for-profit) company and to Canada and to build impactful longer-term collaborations between Humber and industry. This interactive and hands-on workshop series will acquaint participants with the process of applying for Engage grants. Participants will come away from the workshops with a greater sense of confidence and an understanding of what it takes to be successful.

Join us for a screening of the The Lost Bird Project and follow sculptor Todd McGrain as he sets out to create a series of bronze memorials to five birds that are now extinct in North America: the Labrador Duck, the Great Auk, the Heath Hen, the Carolina Parakeet, and the Passenger Pigeon. Follow the two-year journey as the project moves from the tropical swamps of Florida to the rocky coasts of Newfoundland.
Following the documentary, birders Nancy Barrett and Tim McCarthy will share their reflections on the film and connect it to local projects aimed at raising awareness and protecting bird species who are at risk today.
Nancy Barrett is a self-taught wildlife photographer, naturalist, and birder who has felt a keen curiosity for the wonders of the natural world since early childhood. She volunteers with several organizations, learning workshops for groups including the Toronto Ornithological Club and the Friends of SAM SMITH PARK, among others. She also frequently partners with the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre and Fatal Light Awareness Program Canada in contributing to bird and nature-themed exhibits.
Tim McCarthy has been an active birder and committed conservationist for more than 50 years. Throughout this time, he has been committed to the philosophy that it is important to DO something to support our natural world rather than simply view or study it. Tim embodies this active philosophy through his volunteer work with the Toronto Ornithological Club: he runs the annual Whimbrel Watch in Colonel Samuel Smith Park every May and also contributes to the Hawk Watch in High Park each fall.

Event hosted by the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre in partnership with the Toronto Ornithological Club, the Humber Arborertum, Friends of Sam Smith Park, and the Citizens Concerned with the Future of the Etobicoke Waterfront (CCFEW).
